The SEC must think they have the right to be immune from criticism. I guess they have the power to fine coaches from the SEC schools. I don't know who else they have the authority to fine. Maybe ADs? Maybe college presidents? If their authority to impose fines on university employees is written in the SEC bylaws, and when a university joins the SEC, they agree to what is written in the bylaws, then, there is not much USC can do about this. Maybe they can appeal? But I don't think this action is going to lead to greater love between Frank Martin and the SEC.

Frank absolutely needed to draw the technical foul against Florida - you have to do that sometimes. We were getting hosed on the calls and I was proud when he stood up for his team.

I agree that we should not be a fallback league for an ACC ref. Maybe he came in with an agenda after we knocked off Duke in the tournament last year?

It is good to see that Frank has not given up. Let's see if the players get the memo as well.

I'm sorry but what exactly is Frank's issue with this particular ref? Does it go back to other games or just because he built his resume in the SEC, left and came back? If that's it I really don't understand the issue (bad calls / no calls aside from this game).
